Saturday morning was spent making pancakes, hanging with Uncle Thomas (I got a gracious sleep late ticket-which I took complete advantage of!) and going to the park. The rest of the day was devoted to playing with the Galactic Hero Star Wars figures. For those not up on toddler boy toys, these are little versions of Star Wars figures, looking extremely cute and mostly safe for 3 year olds. Although, Hasbro.....for all of the cute figures, why are the spaceships so crazy expensive?? Good grief. The Millenium Falcon for $250?? Get real, Hasbro.
The boys played in Ian's room for a good hour, door closed. They had serious reservations about Connor taking any of the SW guys. Connor is smaller than both of them, yet manages to get the upper hand every time. Connor was lurking outside the door for a bit, but he was content to play with me for much of the time. Trevor was especially concerned with Padme and Anakin-at one point, Padme was misplaced and Trevor was unable to continue play until Padme and Anakin were reunited. "Where's Padme?" was repeated five million times. This kid knows all of the characters and storylines, though and it is impressive how much he enjoys the back stories.
The boys allowed me to sit in the room with them while they played and even let me take some pictures, provided they could look at them when I was done. The lighting by the window wasn't too bad. My son's expressions were the hardest to work with-he has this Muppet face every single time. He is also wise to not looking at me when he knows I have a camera in my hand. 
I love this picture of Trevor, if my little goose would just cooperate.....
The Star Wars guys were lined up on the bed. I was allowed to be Padme, but basically since I am a girl, the rest of the characters were off-limits. 
Talk to the hand-no more pictures. 
No naps were taken by any child. So, the very best part was the 7pm bedtime...followed by silence and zero procrastination on Ian's part.

How sweet that he was worried until all his figures were accounted for although I'm sure it would be hell for you if one ever goes missing for too long!
what wonderful faces - great photos. and they cooperate much more than my adult son does.
(I left you a little tip about cats over at Jeni's blog - I probably should have just e-mailed you but my head is still fuzzy)
Happy Sunday to all ;)
Loved the pictures - you did a great job with them. One really good thing about kids playing long and hard usually is the bedtime if they are ready, willing and able to head off there with no fanfare. Sometimes though, they do just like adults and play so long, are overtired, and then miserable to get them to bed! Maya has a tendency to do that from time to time. Glad you had a good time and even a little extra sleeping in too!
Loved the first picture, especially Connors expression, and that he too wanted to be on the Daddy ride :)
Ian and Trevor are the cutest! It is great that they can play longer together these days.
Boy those are cute kids. And beautiful photographs. It's so great that Ian and Trevor are such good friends.
I love pictures... especially of my great nephew (or niece or...)
Such cute photos! I love the Talk to the Hand one!! I got those yesterday too.
What cute boys! I loved the first picture of Trevor riding on Thomas's back and Ian's approving smile!
As for the cost of these sets..if you think Hasbro is bad, wait 'til you start getting into the Lego sets! Let me know when you do..we'll talk then! LOL!
Looks like you all had a wonderfully fun time! Thank you for sharing! *HUGS & SMILES*
